It's the beginning of a new year. It's everything and nothing like the ones that have passed before. For me, this new year was different. It was supposed to be my great escape. It was ushered in the midst of my favourite music. Ushered in the presence of merry people on the road. Ushered in with every possible hope and wish I could ever think of.
2013 was quite the year. It was a year of hard-hitting facts coupled with those unbelievably good moments. New friends were made. Close friends were made. Deepest secrets were shared. Found people I could completely relate to. Found people who I could crib to and get honest reassurances about how things always turn out good and vice-versa. Found those who would always encourage me. Saw the goodness in people when they wish for you to succeed. Those few thankful moments. Saw the highest highs and the lowest lows of everything that could be. Realized how much I have changed or rather adapted to this kind of living, a little bit of cynicism, a little bit of unrealistic wishes. Actually let go and had fun a few times, those few times I refused to think too much and the time that brought out the happy, impressive side of me. A bitter-sweet year on a whole but a year that is going to play a huge role, in how I look at life from now onward, I guess.
So, enough of that gloominess. Weirdly, I do have a few resolutions for this year.
- To not panic and go crazy. Which I realize I do way WAYYY too much when it comes to my own things. I have got to learn to train the calm me, that helps other people, to work for me too.
- To not over-think things ( Haha, she hopes, my head says to me).
- To be a little adventurous.
- Experience life in a way that I live every moment just for that moment.
- Not feel guilty about letting go and being myself once in a while
- Taking things as they come is probably the best advice I have gotten and something that I seem to be putting to use.
This year is truly the year of hope. A few for whom it has already turned into reality, that happiness I felt knew no bounds, to begin a year with good news feels like a sign. A few, who like me, are awaiting their turn, and I hope that it works out perfectly for them too. It is a year of anticipation, a year of anxiety, a year of dreaming and living through each day with that one thought in your mind. I think my next new year's post shall have quite an account of how things turned out.
On that note, I wish you a very wonderful new year and I truly hope that your deepest wishes come true. :)
And I shall leave you with this lovely song. :)
